MESQUITE COOKIES, ANYONE?

Together with the Phoenix Permaculture Guild, the Phoenix Slow Food Group, and the Urban Farm, we hosted a nonprofit educational table at the Ahwatukee Farmers’ Market during the annual mesquite bean milling. People had the opportunity to bring mesquite beans collected during the summer months to be ground into flour by volunteers from the Phoenix Permaculture Guild. Our group baked mesquite cookies in a solar cooker and gave them away while speaking with shoppers about Roots & Shoots and about solar cooking. We gave out the recipes on quarter sized sheets of paper that included the http://www.rootsandshoots.org/ website. A newspaper article the day before this event helped publicize our presence there.
